Each district is given its partic- <br />ular residential density according to the following criteria: <br />a) Historical development patterns. <br />b) Proximity to urban centers. <br />c) Physical characteristics." <br />A portion of the site, as well as, approximately 160 additional <br />acres have been zoned R-3 since 1957, with the adoption of <br />the first zoning map in Indian River County. Despite the <br />zoning, the development trend for the area has been low <br />density, single-family residential. <br />The southern portion of the subject property is zoned for <br />agriculture.
